Pacquiao-Crawford ‘di na tuloy
MANILA, Philippines — Kumpirmadong hindi na tuloy ang laban nina eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao at reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight king Terence Crawford.
Inihayag ni Top Rank Promotions chief Bob Arum na tuluyan nang namatay ang Pacquiao-Crawford mega fight na plano sanang idaos sa Hunyo 5 sa Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Ayon kay Arum, ang kawalan ng sponsor ang pangunahing dahilan para hindi na matuloy ang laban.
“What happened to us in Abu Dhabi was we had signed contracts and everything and they were supposed to put up the money,” ani Arum sa panayam ng BoxingScene.com.
Plantsado na ang lahat, ayon kay Arum, dahil pumayag na sina Pacquiao at Crawford.
Wala namang malinaw na paliwanag ang mga sponsors mula UAE kung ano ang dahilan ng pagba-backout nito, dagdag pa ni Arum.
“Well, I’ve been waiting two weeks for the money. Nobody put up the money after promising they would. Both (Pacquiao and Crawford) had agreed and we had a signed agreement from this group in Abu Dhabi subject to the money getting put up by the Abu Dhabi government,” wika ni Arum.
